This has been hunk up since tractor trailer overturn right around sick clocks this morning. Two people were hurt. They have nonlife threatening injuries. Now, the inner loop ha had been completely closed between allentown road and pennsylvania avenue but the crash has just cleared completely. All lanes back open. However, the inner loop delays still stretch for miles. Wow. Okay. The big story at nine today metro needs money and lots of it to keep running. Metro general manager laid out funding plan to keep the Transit Agency a float. He toll us the odds that hes facing to get it done. Fox5s annie yu live place met though rotation with more on this proposal. Good morning, annie. Reporter hey, good morning to all of you. Yeah metro gm Paul Wiedefeld came out with this plan, and its a very comprehensive plan, and it basically outlines how he plans or how he wants to make metro more reliable, much safer, and it also addresses the longtime funding issues of this Transit Agency. And you know its not going to be easy which he admitted, but its not going to be easy because he needs other leaders to get on board talking on the local level as well as the federal government level. Does he remain hopeful im want to show you some of those changes that he is proposing. If you look on your screen were starting it off with metro needing 15. 5 billion over the next ten years. He makes it clear these are for investments to remain safe and reliable on the rails. And hes looking to local governments for some of that money. He also says laib costs need to be cut in order to avoid a budget crisis. No pensions for new employees and that metro should have the plex ability to outsource some of its operations as well facilities. Hes also calling on local lawmakers to establish a dedicated source of funding that will provide about 500 million anannually for w tmata long term maintenance needs much this plan is about the customer and better many of riders adding its necessary to get this money they can make vestments in the system and tackle those problems before they happen. Take a listen. What this plan is really about is about our customers. For this system to maintain, you know, the quality that we all want, for this system, we need to invest in it much its a 40yearold system its a 40 billion investment weve made in this system and protect that Going Forward we need to make these types of impro improvements. A lot of things were going through the customers are going through we havent kept up with investment. So as things wear out were to the getting ahead them before they wear out. They wear out literally as the trains are running and we have to change that whole dynamic and what this allows us to do to just do that. Get ahead of these thing before they reporter now one of the first to praise the plan was virginia democratic senator kaine and he said hes in support of this plan. Its one of several proposals that we shall seriously consider. And so we have heard from him. Were still waiting from other local leaders but i think its also interesting that the general manager asked added during your interview steve and allison that you know when he first came on board that he didnt realize how deep these issues were, and now that hes faced head on with it, hes moving forward. Hes tackling them one by one. You know, its interesting that he didnt realize the capacity and the depth of these issues that metro was dealing with. Back to you in the studio. Im not sure anybody realized just how bad it was. I will say ill give him credit he took the complete blame for this. Not blame. He took the onus for this whole issue saying look the buck stops here its my problem now. We have to dole with it. I admire him for that in saying look, ill fix it and move on. Oftentimes you dont see not in our political world. Good for him for at least saying ive got this problem, i got to figure out a way to fix it. Its a thank less situation to be in. Absolutely. Whether you believe what he says or not theres a lot of work in the past that could have been done that was not done. We have a 40 year system thats been deferred for years. At some point you have to fix it. Isnt yeah. The problem where do you get the money . You keep putting bandaids on things and every bandaid is a fair hike. Right. Inconvenience. Now when you want to rip those bandaids off, its even bigger pain for the ridership. Good right. I troy to think of like someone told me think of it like a splinter. If you leave it in there it just keeps festering and gets worse. When you pull it out it really hurts and it might be bleed, but then it can heal. Right thats the only way you can get to it. Isnt that the message he was kind of talking about when he first got here, when he started talking about safetrack and shutting down the system. Oh, my gosh, shut down the system. We got to do that. This is a mess. Umhmm. Something needs to be done hes taking a bold step now. Whether it will work and where the money will come other issue hes doing some something. And we have survived safetrack. Right. We did survive it. Exactly how many what are you going to do . Good right. Let us no he what you think about the metro situation as always. Use the gooddaydc. Where you think the money would come from. Gooddaydc. We got all the questions. We got none of answers. All right. After 20 years bill oreilly will not be returning to fox news channe. The announce many comes after several recent reports of Sexual Harassment involving oreilly and his female colleagues. Dana perino who has been filling for oreilly since he announced an extended break earlier miss announced he was no longer with the network. It is the end of era here at the fox news channel. As we mentioned earlier, bill oreilly is leaving this chair and this network after more than 20 years. Bill has been the undisputed king of cable news and for good reason. Several companies had pulled their ads from the oreillys top rated of the Oreilly Factor since fox news first began back in 1996. Tucker carlson tonight will take over that 8 00 p. M. Time slot starting this coming monday. Now in a statement bill oreilly wrote over the past 20 years at fox news i have been extremely proud to launch and lead one of the most successful news pro programs in history. Significant and the cribbed to building fox into the dominant news network in television. He called the circumstances surrounding his firing tremendously disheartening. 9 09. White house tourists not going to be to get as close on the south lawn. The security perimeter around the white house getting larger after a series of breaches in recent months. Melanie alnwick live with the details this morning giving us perfect view what we can see and how our picture taking might be impacted this morning. Reporter high again, st steve. It is in some respects a small significant change because as we know once you push perimeters back, once you put in security closures here in d. C. Its pretty rare for them to be taken away. He have street right here was closed in 2015 and you can see it is still closed now. So the big change is that used to be that you would be able to cross the street after 6am. It was closed between 11am and six 11 00 p. M. And sick am. As of yesterday and then as of this morning, no longer can pedestrians get across e street to go right up along that south lawn fence perimeter. So it is a small change as we said. You can still stand here and see a pretty good view of the white house. The secret service says this is really just part of its on hiv gougere view of permanent and temporary security measures just a little while ago this morning we had got video of secret Service Agents putting up those new signs the restricted area do not enter making it very clear to pedestrians where they cannot cross also we saw som Service Officers and their supervisors kind of going through and reviewing what the security procedures now are. So its clear to them as well. The problem really has been fence jumpers. Despite the fact that theyve put in new spikes on the fence, continue to be fence jumpers just on march 10th. The man from california carrying mace got over the fence. On the grounds for 17 minutes before he was arrested latest in a string of high profile fence breaches since 2014. There are plans to raise the height of the fence ton make permanent security changes to it. Making it tougher, taller, stronger still keeping with historical authenticity in making the changes the secret service explained it that is way. Saying by pushing the public back a little bit it really is going to give that buffer zone. So youre going to significantly reduce the chance that is someone can get over the fence but not only that youre going to be able to give secret Service Agents a nice wide view here if anybody is breaching perimeter they have that time to react and get over. I can tell you that any time theres been a move to restrict the Public Access, local lawmakers have certainly been very vocal in saying that you need to make sure that you balance the need to give the Public Access with security and safety as well. It seems like folks here still having a good time. Still able to get their pictures of the white house. Perhaps not as close as theyve been able to do it before. Melanie, i think mel you shall tell those youngsters about the good old days when you can take a picture up by the white house like yesterday. [ laughter ] reporter thats right. Yeah, you used to be able to go right up to the fence. Youd stick your camera through and get it without those fence lines. Todays day and age no longer. I did talk to a mom short time ago that said honestly its not that big of a change and that thats what the, what you have to do in order to keep people away from the white house grounds then shes all for yeah. Kind of cool filter on there people like your picture. Right . Thanks, mel. 9 12 is the time.
